*****(STANDARD COMMENT 5) DESIGNER/INSTALLER INFORMATION
Fire Alarm system was designed by: SIMPLEXGRINNELL

*****(STANDARD COMMENT 8) The following RED-LINED items are to be corrected prior to final inspection:
1. Lifeskills areas and spot smoke detection in high ceilings: assuming a 9 degree temp difference between floor/celing, and an average 50 KW trash can fire, the smoke plume is calculated to reach the ceiling level.
Be advised - this does NOT account for any HVAC influence and thus such ventilation may have an effect on the plume rise, negating the calculation.
